MOTION-TRANSMITTING MEANS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 29, 1918.

Application led March 29, 1917. Serial No. 158,439.

To all whom z't may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR S. LANICH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Baraboo, in the county of Saul; and State of iVisconsin,have invented new and useful Improvements in Motion- Transmitting Means,of which the following is a specitication.

My present invention pertains to motiontransmitting mechanism; and itsobject is the provision of peculiar and highly advantageousmotion-transmitting means, designed more particularly, though notnecessarily, for embodiment in a door opening or controlling apparatus.

@ther objects and advantageous features Vof the invention will be fullyunderstood be wound upon and suitably connected to the windlass or drum.

The disk 12 is preferably of metal, and opposed to the beveled portionof the same are reversely arranged pulleys 16 which are preferably ofpaper or other suitable friction-creating` material. Said pulleys 16 arekeyed or otherwise fixed to a shaft 5 which is journaled in a sleevebearing 13, mounted on the spindle 10, and provided with a flangedopening 14. At 1T the shaft 5 is provided with a band pulley for itsconnection with a motor (not shown).

Loosely mounted and held against endwise movement on the shaft 5 is acollar 18, and connected to said collar is a reversing or control lever19- that is fulcrumed at 20.

A rod 21 is connected with the lever 19 so that the latter may bemanipulated when desired by a person positioned at a distance from themotion-transmitting mechanism. Through the medium of said rod 21 andlever 19 either of the pulleys 16 may be engaged with the disk 12 of thewindlass or drum 8, according to the direction in which it is desired torotate the latter from the shaft 5 which may be rotated by any suitablemeans.

lV hen the lever 19 is relieved of push or pull, the pulleys 16 rest inneutral positions and hence there is no tendency to rotate the windlassor drum 8.

Having described my invention, what I, claim and desire to secure byLetters-Patent, is:

Motion transmission means comprising a spindle having a base plate, adrum rotatable on the spindle and having a disk beveled at its sideremote from the base plate, a sleeve bearing iXedly mounted on thespindle at the opposite side of the drum, with reference to the baseplate, and having a flanged opening at an intermediate point of itslength, a shaft rotatable and movable endwise in the sleeve bearing,reversely arranged beveled pulleys fixed on said shaft and adapted to bealternately engaged with the disk, a col lar disposed in the flangedopening of the tubular bearing and loosely mounted and held againstendwise movement on the shaft, and a lever connected with said collarand fulcrumed in the iiange of the opening at an intermediate point inthe length of the tu bular bearing.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
